I am stuck.... Help required Strongly.

DarkTangent - November 1, 2009 - 15:12

I have made a web form by using cck, it puts the data as a node.

Now i want to pull the data from the node through views.

In simple cases the view simply puts all the data i have saved , with 10 results on the page. Let us say 20 users have signed up using the form, now what does is it shows data of 10 on one page and the other 10 on the next page.

I want each data to be displayed as box,which has 4 tabs, now for each result the box should show up and all the tabs should be there for each entry, each tab contains information split. A tab contains address, the other the website and the other the user information.

I have tried my best to implement it, i have Google'ed a lot , i have posted at this forum but no answer.

Today i am posted with a hope that some expert answers the query.

The tabbed info looks some thing like this.

Failed on doing the job with quick tabs.....

It simply makes the tabs on the top and the info is displayed like the same way it was displaying before.

views are styled, as every part of drupal is styled with css and custom.tpl.php files if needed.

Use the firefox browser with the firebug add on to inspect the elements and style as needed. Use the views template suggestions where needed. The devel.module may also help. Using google to search for Views 2 themeing tutorials may also be fruitful.

your image doesn't show any tabs.

Where do you want tabs? You've only a few options in that regard some of them already mentioned. There is also a views_tabs.module or writing some custom them code.

A mock up including the tabs may be fruitful.

Here it

viewstabs.module
quicktabs.module
tabs.module

one of those should do what you want when enabled in the content area of a node. Keep in mind that these modules simply move content to tabs with some default syling. If you want different styling you will have to manually do so which is likely where your issue comes in at #3 after yelvington mentioned quicktabs.module originally.

tabs must link to something. I don't understand what you mean by having tabs on each entry. Tabs linked to what?

with regards to either of the tabs modules have you created views for them ? or ... ?

there is a limited amount of ways to handle tabs. They've been given to you. If none of them work for you, I'd suggest a custom.module at this point.

hmmm.. you are really making

DarkTangent - November 1, 2009 - 17:30

hmmm..

you are really making things clear for me...

look as the results are displayed, i want three tabs.. one tab will load default and show info of the user.. The other tab will show the images s(he) has loaded, the third will have the contact info...

These tabs are not linking any thing, they simply sort out the data.. And i want this sorted data for each of the entry shown on the views page.

Now as you say that we must link the tabs to some thing , i think it can not be done what i am thinking.

sounds more like you want sortable views put into the tabs.

yes exactly i want to sort

DarkTangent - November 1, 2009 - 17:38

yes exactly i want to sort out the data by different views and then display them with tabs. But whenever i have tried to do so , it shows the tabs on the top of the page and not for each entry as i require.

I do not know if there is some thing to do with the views that i am doing wrong..

But according to my little knowledge views show data like this....

Actually i am building an ad site. Now when the ads are submitted by a form made in CCK they are called back using views, views displays them all but i want each ad to have tabs containing sorted data.....

Do you know any other way to do it?

tabs only print once per page because they're generally printed in the page.tpl.php file. If you want the tabs printed on individual teasers, you could try moving that code to the node.tpl.php file but I have no clue what ramifications to functionality and performance that may have. Might be worth a try though.
